If you are looking at short term ownership, resale is a big factor. Just look and see what used coaches are selling for and what it cost their original owners to own them short term. Since you are buying used, if you save a lot, someone took a big loss. Maybe you will and maybe you won't if you sell soon. If ownership is long term, look at value of older coaches.
For me, the bottom line was acceptable quality and the chassis I wanted, with enough power to get where I wanted to go. But the single most important factor is livability. Not just floorplan, but carrying capacity, features, eye-appeal, etc.
You mentioned another couple travelling with you. I can't imagine being the guest couple in ANY class A I have ever seen. There is no such thing as a good second bed in a coach. They sleep 2...dine 4...and sit 6 or 8. Anything more is problematic.
